We've converted our solution from .NET 2.0 to .NET 3.5. All projects converted just fine except for the Website Project, which still doesn't understand what I mean when using 'var' and the like. I've looked in the property pages for the web project, and the Target Framework is set to '.NET Framework 3.5'. Any other ideas? ...
I'm trying to convert a Web Site to the Web Application project model and I'm running into compile errors that do not seem to be covered by the guidance I found at Converting a Web Site Project to a Web Application Project. The issue is that standard ASP.NET controls that are embedded as child controls within the ContentTemplate of the ...
What would be the best way to call a method in the code-behind of parent page from the code behind of the child page in the ASP.NET 2.0 Web Site model? Scenario: User clicks a link in the parent page to view a data record's detail in child page (The parent and child are tow seperate pages). The user will modified the data in the client...
I have a legacy (haha) ASP.Net Webforms Web Site Project in Visual Studio 2008 SP1, that I would like to gradually introduce some MVC functionality into. Most of the information I can locate on how to integrate ASP.Net MVC with WebForms seems to assume the use of a Web Application Project. However, it seems impossible to find informati...
I'm trying to figure out how to best implement a public data hosting service. How do websites that let users upload pictures enforce their terms of service regarding obscene pictures? Do they use image processing algorithms to flag potential violations (too many skin-colored pixels)? I think Imageshack looks at the websites that their...
I have a Visual Studio 2008 Web Site project in a solution with a number of other assembly projects. The Web Site project has 4 types of references: Project, BIN, COM interop, and text files. The Project references autoupdate perfectly. The BIN references for managed DLLs autoupdate with .refresh files, which work well and can be chec...
I'm a decently experienced .net developer for the desktop but this is my first stab at using ASP.NET and i'm stumped almost right away. I've used the VS2008 "New Website" wizard and got a simple page working, codebehind page and all. But my next step of adding a simple static class for some utility methods to be used by all pages is not...
At my company, we have tiered environment for our web applications (development, staging, production). I made a bunch of changes to one of my applications and deployed them to the development environment (Windows 2003 w/ IIS 6.0). I also had to make an immediate change to one of the user control files that needs to fix issue with the c...
I have a WebSite project in Visual Studio 2008 (not a Web Application project!) How do I set the ASP.NET Development startup port to a static port in a WebSite project? ...
Hi, I've been working on a legacy ASP.NET Web Site (versus a Web Application) project at a client for some time now, and its slow compile time has me wondering: Are web site projects known to be slow(er) at compiling (than Web Application projects)? It's a pretty small website, but the entire solution has tons of functionality -- 19 p...
This might be a duplicate question as I have found a few that are similar, but not exactly the same. The title pretty much says it all, but here are the details: The basic setup I have in VS2008 is two web site projects (not web application projects!) living in the same solution; call them A and B. A depends on B, since B contains a use...
The title pretty much says it all. Given a web site project in VS2008 named FooDLL, I would like to be able to specify the name of the assembly that VS2008 spits out when I click "Publish Web Site". I am using the "use fixed naming and single page assemblies" option, so the resulting DLL is consistently named. However, I would much rat...
Can T4 templates be used in a web site project? Or more specifically, can Subsonic be used in a web site project? I can run the .tt files in a web application project but it does not nothing on a web site project. I guess they need a solution/project environment in order to run? ...
Scott Gu explains how to run visual web developer using a root path, here: http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2006/12/19/tip-trick-how-to-run-a-root-site-with-the-local-web-server-using-vs-2005-sp1.aspx This worked exactly as he described in one instance for me. But, today I do not see this option. More over, I do not think I have ...
I have an ASP.NET Web Site project that used to have it's logic in the App_Code folder. I pulled some of the code into a Class Library project (to allow unit testing) and added a Project Reference. It compiles and runs fine. The problem is that the only way the Web Site project represents the project reference (to my knowledge) is throu...
Hi, How do I exclude Web.config from server when publishing website (not web application project) in Visual Studio 2005 I can see information how to add setting to the Web.Config but in this instance the Web.config is fine on the servers; so I do not want the problem of introducing possible faulty Web.config to a live environment. ...
Currently we have a bunch of web sites (web site projects) that I think should be converted to web application projects. Everybody agrees. But a number of custom BuildProviders are used to generate controls and unfortunately MSDN says that Adding a customized BuildProvider class to the Web.config file works in an ASP.NET Web site bu...
Apparently, DNN installations do not like to be precompiled (they won't be able to find any localized strings then). Our installation is safely put in SVN, which means I cannot just copy the whole directory. To publish everything, I need to copy the whole website directory without the SVN files and directories. So far, I've been messing ...
I've got an Asp.Net web site project that is causing increasingly frustrating memory issues during publish. Visual Studio operates reasonably well during normal work, and even the build stage is fairly quick (especially after following some of the recommendations in the posts listed below). However the publish stage is slow, and more t...
